The American Research Center in Egypt is committed to helping Egypt preserve its rich cultural heritage for the benefit of future generations worldwide.
In 1993 and 1995 ARCE signed agreements with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to administer multimillion-dollar grants in support of work and programs that promote the preservation of Egyptian antiquities. Later, the U.S. Congress allocated further funds to establish the Antiquities Endowment Fund.
Through its Egyptian Antiquities Project (EAP), the Antiquities Development Project (ADP) and the Antiquities Endowment Fund (AEF), ARCE seeks to serve the conservation, preservation and documentation needs of Egyptian antiquities.
